Lesson one

导言第一句中“how to improve your grades…?” 作的是know的宾语,是宾语 从句how you can improve your grades…的省略形式。有些带疑问词的宾语从句 往往能省略成:“疑问词+动词不定式”的形式。 如:Can you tell me how I can get to the railway station? 可省略为:Can you tell me how to get to the railway station?

如:I don’t know what I should do.可省略为:I don’t know what to do.

导言第一句中的without后面接的是动名词结构。without是介词,介词后一般接名词(词组)作宾语,有时也接动名词(短语)或从句作宾语。 如:He went to work without breakfast.

They left without saying goodbye to the host and the hostess.

The instrument is important to us, without which we can never do the experiment. spend: a.花费(钱,时间等)

常见的结构是:spend money/time on something 和 spend time (in) doing如: I spent ten dollars on the shirt.

They spent two and a half hours on their homework. They spent two and a half hours (in) doing their homework. b.度过

如:How do you spend your spare time? He has spent all his life in the small village. 导言第二句中的sound是连系动词,

意思是“听上去”,该词后面的结构作的是句子的 表语。

如:He sounded a little discouraged.(他听上去有点儿泄气。) Her excuse sounds reasonable.

Your grandmother looks well. Leaves have turned yellow. The food is getting cold. The weather becomes warmer.

too…to…结构表示“太…以至不能…”的意思,too后面接形容词、副词,to后面接动词原形. 导言第二句话 Sounds too good to be true? 的意思是:听上去太好了,都令人难以置信, 不是吗? 如:He is too weak to carry the luggage by himself. The room is too small for five people to live in.

第二个例句中,to live in这个动词不定式前加了一个形式主语(逻辑主语)for five people. habit的意思是“习惯, a tendency to repeat an act again and again , or a behavior pattern that has a degree of unconscious stubborn repetition”, 如:the habit for smoking, a habit of thrift(节省), a habit of scratching (挠)one’s head when thinking, a reading habit, a note-taking habit.

形容词为intelligent,意思是clever, 如:He is an intelligent young man. That is an intelligent decision. Average Intelligence: 普通智力。
